En el corazón del Buen Pastor. La apropiación del discurso de los derechos humanos en el contexto penitenciario colombiano
(Universidad de Los Andes, 2015) Libardo José Ariza; Carolina Botero
This article analyzes the dual nature of the implementation of human rights discourse in the context of the Colombian penitentiary and prison system. On the one hand, it functions as a discourse articulated both by women deprived of liberty and by security and custodial personnel to confront the infrahuman conditions of confinement. In this facet, human rights discourse seems to bridge the gap that separates guards and inmates thanks to their identification as victims of state neglect. On the other hand, this discourse operates as a mechanism of adaptation to the penitentiary experience, which is narrated by the inmates through the language of law. In this process, the strategic appropriation of human rights discourse in the figures of the Consul, the Patio Representative, and the Human Rights Office is a determining factor for translating prison life into the language of legal institutions.
Paz en otros términos: prácticas de cuidado mutuo entre soldados y frailejones en el páramo de sumapaz
(National University of Colombia, 2019) Carolina Botero
Este artículo argumenta que la definición de paz de las agendas internacionales sobre justicia transicional y construcción de paz se queda corta al no contemplar a los no-humanos. Por tanto, en las discusiones sobre medio ambiente para la paz, los no-humanos simplemente reciben el nombre de “ambiente”, sin tener en cuenta las relaciones más que humanas que también construyen la paz. Para sustentar mi argumento, en este texto me baso en un ejemplo etnográfico sobre la relación entre militares y frailejones en el Batallón de Alta Montaña N.° 1, en el páramo de Sumapaz, para mostrar de qué manera las prácticas de mutuo cuidado conforman otras maneras de hacer y entender la paz.
Peace producing science. Biological expeditions in the replacement of war
(2019) Carolina Botero
After the signature of the peace treaty with the FARC guerrilla [Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia: the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia], the Colombian government ended a 60-year conflict with one of the oldest guerrilla movements in the world. Alongside the signature of the peace treaty began a national project to conduct biological inventories of species through a series of expeditions called Colombia Bio. The idea behind these expeditions is to explore and register biodiversity in places formerly occupied by the FARC. I accompanied five of these expeditions as an anthropologist. My interest has been to understand the relationship between science and peace as they are specifically enacted in the post-conflict moment. More specifically, I aim to explore how concepts of biodiversity and transitional justice become intertwined in this particular scenario, bringing new understandings of peace and on the relation with nature in a post-conflict scenario.
